"Students assemble in the arena for an important visitor!"
Jaden Yuki ran to the duel arena nearly bowling over his arch rival Chazz Princeton in the process.
"Take it easy Jaden." Alexis told him with a smirk and he grinned at his girlfriend of two months, ignoring Chazz's mutterings about 'slyfer slacker and stealing my girl', opting instead to kiss Alexis.
"Sorry Lex." He told her and she grinned, taking his hand in hers as they walked to the arena; they had gotten together shortly after their first duel. Alexis had overheard her friends asking if she had fallen for Jaden and she knew the answer was yes so she went up to him the next day and told him so. Jaden had been serious when he said he thought he was in love and so it was no surprise when he asked her out.
Alexis was cut from her train of thought as they entered the dueling arena and heard a chopper whir overhead. Jumping from the chopper as soon as it was within range of the arena, was none other than the founder of Duel Academy himself, Seto Kiaba.
"What's Seto Kiaba doing here?" Syrus asked and Jaden shrugged his shoulders in response.
"Mr. Kiaba to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?" Chancellor Shepard asked, walking over to greet the younger man.
"I'm here to take care of a family matter Chancellor."
"Family matter?"
"Yes, you see one of your students decided he would go ahead and date my niece without getting my approval. While I would typically just expel them I hear the kid's a good duelist." Turning so he faced the audience Kiaba spoke again.
"If he wants to stay at this academy and continue to date my niece he'll have to beat me in a duel!"
Whispers broke out among the students as they all wondered who had decided to risk the wrath of Seto Kiaba, but they were quickly silenced by Shepherd.
"Who is the young man you want to duel Mr. Kiaba?"
"Why Jaden Yuki of course."
